Philosophy Research at the University of Hertfordshire
Environment and ethos
Innovative, original research is the hallmark of our welcoming philosophy department.
Philosophy research carried out at the University of Hertfordshire is valued beyond the borders of the subject, having gained recognised professional standing on the world stage and demonstrated its genuine impact.
Our academic staff researchers are known for their willingness to redefine the boundaries of thought in the department’s areas of strength.
